Seventy-six registered at the first
Student Convention in 1947, led by 'Mrs.
Murphy which met in Modesto. Mr. William
Hall Froston represented the Student
Department of the Sunday School Board in
Nashville, Tennessee. A full council of
state officers were elected with Bob
Murphree of Compton College as president,
On April 15, 1943, Norman Fromm came
to the Student Department as secretary.
Mrs. Murphy continued her work-in the
office until her resignation, June 1,
1943, On July I, 1948, Mrs. L. V. Bray
wrs transferred from the administration
office to the student union office.
In 1943, the Student Union Convention
met in Bakersfield with one-hundred and
nine registering from eleven colleges.
Some high school seniors were included
in this group. Jim Craig, San Diego
State, was elected president along with
a full council of state officers.
San Diego played host to the Student
Convention in 1949, with ninty-nine in
attendance. Twelve colleges and universities, two seminaries, and five high
schools were represented. Also held that
year was a Student Retreat at Arroyo
Grande with sixty-one registering.
Teman Johnson was elected president at
the Berkeley convention in 1950 to succeed
Jimmye Hillman, Modjeska and Mission
Springe will bring back many glorious
memories to students who gathered at these
places for the 1950 Student Retreats.
Cn December 31, -1-950, Mr. Norman Fromm
terminated his services in order to do
graduate work in Southwestern Seminary.
This left the work in the capable hands of
Mrs. Helen bray who made a contribution to
our student work in keeping it together in
the absence of a secretary.
Progress was noted, in the Student work c
when over two-hundred students gathered in
Fresno for the 1951 convention. Teman
Johnson was re-elected with a full crew of
officers who have served this past year and
many of them are serving behind the scenes
of this convention.
History will be made at the convention
here in El Monte, but our work is easier
becau.se others have laid a secure foundation that aids us in going forward in a
great way in our Student work in
California. Student work is not going
places in California but it is already on
its way.
